ParticipantEconProf: That was a very smart suggestion (destroying Mexican clunkers and replacing them with US gifted used cars) to reduce border/global pollution and get a lot of free goodwill. It is so sad our governments have so little creativity. Imagine if U.S. government offered to just buy more than, say, 5 or 7 year old cars for $3500-$4500 and gifted the good ones to Mexico in exchange for getting equal number of their cars for scrapping. Overall pollution would have been reduced and our auto factories would be working at full speed increasing employment. This would have been the best stimulus money can buy.

ParticipantYes that is a surprising list. Also, no Fit, Yaris or Versa (or any of the hybrids or diesels) are in top 10. Looks like the urge to enjoy government subsidy (on bigger vehicles like trucks) trumped fuel efficiency consideration!

ParticipantThat is what is to be expected in a credit crunch, isn’t it? Cash is King. The banking system needs to build up cash reserves as much as possible and this seems logical. Lower comps will make homes more affordable and help deflate the bubble. What is to complain?
